[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If Trump doesn’t start a war, RFK will be the most dangerous man in America, bar none.   A lot of people missed the headlines.

RFK is currently undermining liability protections for vaccine makers. It could make vaccines compeltely inaccessible, or the development of new ones impossible.

He also recently removed an FDA website warning people about the dangers of chelation  therapy to try to treat autism.  Chelation "therapy" has caused severe adverse events and deaths in children whose parents stupidly gave it to them. It has absolutely basis in science whatsoever for treating autism.

RFK also just made it so that states no longer have to report medicaid, CHIP vaccination rates to CMS either.  Just utter insanity.

Again, RFK without question is the single most dangerous man in America. Preventable infectious diseases are skyrocketing.  The war on vaccines is far more worse than you can possibly imagine of you havent been paying very deep attention to very specific news.  He is also pushing all sorts of whacko, insano ideas onto the public for health treatments.  We literally have the dumbest idiots on the planet right now in charge of public health, and the consequences are catastrophic. [/quote]

You ever wonder why vaccines need special legal protection no other form of healthcare gets? We still make antibiotics and replace knees without special legal immunity.[/quote]

Idiotic take.  No one gives antibiotics to hundreds of millions of people as preventative care. Vaccines need special protection because when you give vaccines to 300 million people, there will be adverse effects in a very, verrrrry small fraction of people, for example Guillain Barre syndrome.  We cannot allow people to go bankrupt who'd make vaccines that protect 99% of the population because a dozen people happened to have extremely rare side effects.  The overall good vastly outweighs risk.  Also, without special protection, it will make vaccine development intractable, because no one wants to eat the risk of dealing with massive lawsuits due to some extremely rare event.

Spoken like an anti-vax whack job. [/quote]

Maybe I'm a weirdo, but I don't think vaccine makers should get a free pass to skip on QC and harm kids. If vaccine makers were actually held liable for their defects, they might actually have an incentive to make a safer product. Or maybe it would mean don't give it to everyone.[/quote]

They don’t get a free pass. They are required to contribute to a vaccine compensation fund for each vaccine dose sold. People that experience harm from the vaccines are eligible for compensation up to 250k. Your logic here is very flawed, most vaccines rely on herd immunity to be effective and discouraging people from getting them despite very low risks of severe side effects will cause more people to become permanently disabled or die. Risks from measles vaccine are 1/5,000 chance of having febrile seizure, 1/40,000 risk of ITP (bleeding issue), odds of a severe allergic reaction are even lower than this. In comparison, measles has a hospitalization rate around 20%, 10% get ear infections, 1/330 people that get it, 1/1000 get permanent brain damage from encephalitis. It also wipes out your immune memory and causes elevated mortality for a few years after the infection.[/quote]

Not sure where you are getting your odds, but there is no population-level data on any of that. At best you get some contrived "study" with an N of like 300. The vaccine makers are very adamant not to create large and accurate data sets of both side effects and impacts. [/quote]

Ok, RFK.  Whatever you say.

Now go back to eating dear carcasses you found in a park.[/quote]
